State of play: The Front Range Passenger Rail District is looking to name the passenger train that will run between Fort Collins and Pueblo starting in 2029.
A splashy name is essential to winning voter support for a sales tax increase to fund the line.
The intrigue: The district's acronym is a mouthful, so officials are asking the public to pick one of four names it imagined. The contest runs through March 23.
Colorado Connector ("CoCo")
Colorado Ranger
Front Range Express Destinations ("FRED")
RangeLink
